It’s blatant extortion now.
Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn’t take, “No”, for an answer?
Yeah he’s not considering consent of people in other countries at all.
No means yes, no.
And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, rapist, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?
Edit: forgot rapist, so hard to remember everything he’s so shitty
NEVER stop saying those things. Make sure history does not forget what he was.
Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it’d be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, “preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security”.
How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like “yeah, makes sense”.
If he invades Canada we’ll make Vietnam look like a cakewalk.
We look like you. We speak your language. We consume your media. You’re going to fight an enemy who looks, acts, and is just as technologically advanced as you. Fighting insurgents who had nothing in common with you was already challenging enough, now imagine not knowing who is who
I’ve been posting this in a couple places - but it’s not Vietnam, right? It’s Ireland and the Troubles. Only - on a scale that makes the Troubles look like a block party. And I say that aware that the Troubles was a decades long conflict that piled bodies sky-fucking-high and never truly healed. It wasn’t solved by a U2 song.
Alternatively its another Afghanistan only when you accidentally blow up a hospital full of locals instead of the enemy combatants you thought they were you’re actually blowing up your own people, in your own hospital in your own house.
There are also like 1 million of us within their borders.
Yea but they were willing to live in a literal hole for years while having napalm dropped on their heads in addition to many bombs and bullets, how many Canadians would be willing to do that?
And keep in mind that the capacity for destruction and tracking has increased significantly since then
now imagine not knowing who is who
Unless they require you to pronounce “out” at roadblocks
I just don’t understand how he got caught on this thought? I’m no foreign policy wonk, but I just don’t get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It’s like a weird parody that I don’t know enough about to understand.
Is he just Putining?
Some believe it’s a distraction. A Flood the Zone tactic.
I hope for everyone’s sake- this is true. If Trump wants to destroy America, so be it. One could argue we deserve it. But this doesn’t need to involve Canada in any capacity.
Trump needs to be removed for this and it’s not an exaggeration to say there are at least a dozen other unconstitutional things he’s done that he should be removed for as well. But the GOP-held congress doesn’t care about the constitution either so this is only going to continue to get worse.
I guess I meant just since the new term but this is a great list and I’ll be sharing it around myself as well. Thanks!
Is this statement grounds for impeachment?
It seems the Democratic leadership intends to be complicit, also.
It’s not a surprise, liberals generally side with fascism. But it is disappointing.
Well, the best place for the stiff is a pine box 1.8m below grade
Nah, shallow grave. Not worth the effort of a proper burial.
So many people calling for his assassination…
Yes.
Why does Trump want the US to be great again? 🤔 It seems like the US can’t be great and humble anymore under the Trump administration. 🤷♂️
“Make America Great Again” has always been a slogan for making rich Americans richer while poor Americans are distracted by the culture war.
This might sound weird, but I honestly think there’s now an opportunity for the Left to take the slogan as their own. There could be blue MAGA hats instead of red ones, acknowledging that America has truly fallen and needs to be resuscitated.
If we actually did full blown maga, it wouldn’t be red or blue. We would have to become way way more libertarian. At this point, I’m thinking maybe we should not even have a president, and only have the house and senate. Illegal executive orders have given too much power to the presidents.
We should move towards direct voting.
Direct voting, as in not secret voting? I would agree with that. I think the votes should be physically counted while the public watches.
If you mean switch to popular vote instead of electoral, I’d disagree, because urban shouldn’t automatically have rule over rural, which is what would happen.
The US’ most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don’t need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.
Up until the early 90s, the Dominican Republic had a local cable TV network. This network pretty much had a monopoly, it was dirt cheap and included all the premium American satellite/cable TV networks. You name it, it had it.
Obviously this company never bothered to license any of it and just sent some dude to Miami from time to time to renew his individual satellite package so it could be pipe to an entire country. Neat “business model”, not local laws where broken and the US companies couldn’t do much about it.
The fun came to a stop when the US threatened to revoke free-trade deals it had done with the State and pressured the Government to clamp down on the cable TV provider.
I wonder if Canada can make its own streaming service to Canadians which provides all of the content from Netflix, prime, Disney, etc in one location for cheap because all the content is pirated by the government itself.
A splendid idea! Yo ho yo ho mateys!
This goes further than just pirated entertainment. Think of patents. “Nice chip you have there Apple, would be a shame if it were public domain now.”
I believe Russia has this market cornered.
I would rather fucking die.
As an American I would gladly take up arms to be a Canadian partisan to stop this. And my FBI handler can put that on my permanent record.
Me too and I’m ready if it comes to this
After being fairly anti-gun my whole life I just registered for firearms training.
I really hope the orange asshole backs off because I don’t want to shoot anyone, but this is unfortunately where we are right now.
Dude in my city every PAL course is booked out until october. I hate to say this but might need to obtain a firearm illegally. All I have is a .22 from my dad and that’s not gonna work.
Likewise, always been anti firearm, but it’s not about firearms anymore.
Sad… 😔
Id be down to let Canada and Greenland into the EU. Give Trump a big fuck you.
What I read in the article was this. There is going to be a war between the US and Canada. Trump didn’t say that, Trudeau said it.
All I see Trump saying, is that the US does not need items from Canada, if the US is losing money in the process. He also said it would be great if Canada joined the US.
Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!
“Canadians must surrender or die” - Future news from 2027
Future news from
2027summer, 2025.FTFY.
Bold of you to assume it takes so long.
He needs to find a more productive obsession that’s much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.
I miss the good old days when he just obsessed about fucking his daughter instead of my country.
Think on the bright side we might get an RTJ5 out of this lol
Or take up painting.
It worked for Bush Jr. but only after he fucked up everything with the “War on Terror”. We’re still picking the pieces up from that mess.
If it were a just world, nearly all US presidents would be tried at the Hauge.
There will be no war between the US and Canada.
We all know it’s just bluster.
We all know it’s just bluster.
Was it “all bluster” when he told his followers to “stop the steal” on Jan6 a few years ago?
If we were living in a rational world I’d agree, but with all the ludicrous stuff we’ve seen in the last few months I’m not convinced we are. We really shouldn’t dismiss anything as impossible with Trump at the helm of the US. It’s a hope for the best, prepare for the worst kind of time.
When Doug Ford was going to tax the electricity going into the US, Trump said on Truth Social:
I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.
I find that extremely worrying. With enough bluster and showing of force all it takes is one mistake to kick things off.
